Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Well, that's how it feels at times, as someone who uses all 3 for various uses.

    Arch is relatively great, but anyone who's used it for a while has had what should of been a simple update turn into a giant headache. Debian can minimize headaches but you give up the latest software for it. OpenSUSE just feels like the middle ground. You can run the latest software and spend less time sifting through forums because of an update. As a bonus you can always fall back on RPM packages, which can give a tiny bit more software compatibility than the AUR.

    IMO OpenSUSE is what Manjaro wants to be lol

    To be fair, OpenSuse is an umbrella of multiple distros other than Debian and Arch. There are

    • Leap (Stable, binary-compatible to SLES)
    • Tumbleweed (Rolling)
    • Slowroll (Rolling but slower, duh)
    • Aeon (Immutable w/ Gnome)
    • Kalpa (Immutable w/ KDE)
    • Factory (unstable)
    • MicroOS (Immutable for Server)
    • Leap Micro (Immutable, binary-compatible to SLES)

    And then of course the whole Enterprise stuff around SLES (Suse Linux Enterprise Server). There's definitely a need to specify what "OpenSuse" actually means in any given context. πŸ˜…

    I agree though, it's god damn great. The bootable btrfs snapshots that are set up by default in particular.
